Dedication Plaque for the Edifice

The Christian Science church at 68th Street and Central Park West was uniquely mentioned in Mary Baker Eddy’s will as a recipient of monies to pay off the building’s mortgage. Our church is deeply grateful for her provision to enable Christian Science to blossom in New York City.

Text from bronze “dedication plaque” located in the foyer:

MARY BAKER EDDY, DISCOVERER AND FOUNDER OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE AND AUTHOR OF ITS TEXTBOOK SCIENCE AND HEALTH WITH KEY TO THE SCRIPTURESOPENED EASTER SUNDAY, APRIL 7TH, 1901.
